Nicely captured and presnted. Our fox doesn't seem interested in birdseed; there are plenty of squirrels, rabbits and chickens around to attract them. Deer are, however, a huge problem with bird feeders; I now only put out 2 thistle feeders for the finches, plus two suet and nuts/berries feeders for the woodpeckers, high up so the deer don't go after them. When I used to put out sunflower seed, I used a nice "squirrel-proof" metal feeder. One evening I found it on the ground, and reinstalled it higher up and more securely . That mnigghrt it was agin on the ground. Then my neighbor showed me an image of the young black bear that was causing the problem. That is when I decided only thistle and small suet feeders high up.
Thanks for sharing.
